Capture the One-Tail

Ye Liangnai's Chakra has recovered to 70%, but the price is that the Two-Tails and Three-Tails 'Chakra is half depleted!

Now, Ye Liangnai needs to get the last 30% from Shukaku!

"You brat, how dare you look at me like that? You're asking for it!"

Shukaku is a rather irritable character, and he was quite annoyed by Ye Liangnai's gaze, so he opened his mouth and unleashed a powerful air cannon (Air Bullet).

"Flash Erasure!"

But facing this air cannon, Ye Liangnai neither dodged nor evaded, and instead drew his sword to meet it head-on.

In an instant, a sword intent that made the air tremble erupted and then condensed all of it towards the long sword in Ye Liangnai's hand.

"Buzz!"

Ye Liangnai took a heavy step and flashed past Shukaku like a phantom, bringing with her a violent gust of wind.

"Pfft!"

The Air Bullets fired by Shukaku were actually cut open.

His waist was torn open with a deep gash, almost severing him in half, causing him to fall backward.

Behind him, Ye Liangnai stood with her sword sheathed, exuding the air of a peerless master!

But the people around them couldn't help but keep backing away.

Because the strong winds carrying terrifying sharpness could easily cut them.

Even their iron armor was scratched.

If the aftershocks alone are this terrifying, one can only imagine how terrifying Ye Liangnai's strike was!

"Ouch!! You brat, I'm not going to let you get away with this!"

At that moment, Shukaku let out a painful roar and turned around to throw a punch!

But Ye Liangnai deftly stepped back.

Before Shukaku could attack again, he quickly formed hand seals.

Terrifying lightning suddenly shot out from its body, condensing into a majestic Lightning Tiger in front of Shukaku.

It bit Shukaku's body and forcefully pushed him out of the encirclement.

"Hateful!!"

Shukaku roared in resentment and anger, opening its mouth to begin condensing the Void Dog Cannon, intending to violently blast the Lightning Tiger apart!

But Ye Liangnai was not about to let him succeed.

Besides, how could the power of Ninjutsu that Ye Liangnai has worked so hard to improve be weak!

Lightning Tiger roared, deep and powerful.

But lightning crackled around him again, and the violent lightning instantly spread throughout Shukaku's body, causing him to scream in pain once more.

The Void Dog Cannon immediately collapsed, and Shukaku felt his whole body go numb, severely hindering his ability to move.

On this sea surface, his power was greatly reduced, and this unequal battle made him feel quite frustrated.

"Sealing Jutsu: Binding Flow Karma Curse!"

Ye Liangnai's voice rang out again, and he reappeared in front of Shukaku, striking him with a palm.

Suddenly, a suppressed force emerged, and a ring of black patterns spread across Shukaku's body.

"Damn it, am I going to be sealed again? I'm not having it!"

Feeling the powerful suppressive force emanating from the patterns, Shukaku roared in utter grief.

He was just released, but before he could even enjoy himself for a minute, he's going to be sealed away again!

This is so frustrating!

"Kid, I'll remember you. You better make sure the next time we meet, it'll be on the sea!"

"Otherwise, I'll make you pay!"

After Shukaku viciously threatened Ye Liangnai, it was sealed away again.

Meanwhile, his vessel—the future Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, one of the biggest connections in the original work—lay unconscious in front of Ye Liangnai.

Gaara is only eight or nine years old now, so naturally he can't escape Ye Liangnai's clutches.

"Don't even think about it!"

But just then, a sharp whooshing sound came from behind Ye Liangnai, along with Mei Terumi's exclamation. "Watch out, it's a poison puppet!"

Ye Liangnai quickly formed hand seals. "Water Release: Water Wall Technique!"

A ring of water protected Ye Liangnai.

Behind him, a white puppet, its body dripping with green venom, slammed heavily into the Water Wall Technique.

Instantly, the Water Wall Technique turned black at a visible speed, startling Ye Liangnai into grabbing Gaara and quickly retreating.

"Quack!"

But immediately, the sound of puppets attacking came from above him again.

Two puppets, a man and a woman, wielding swords, swooped down at a speed that surprised Ye Liangnai.

"Bass!"

Ye Liangnai fought back with her sword and blasted him away with her strength.

But immediately, the arms, mouths, knees, and chests of the two puppets opened up, shooting out a barrage of thick needles coated with venom— Senbon, a poisonous mist!

The attack came so suddenly and at such close range that even Ye Liangnai couldn't help but feel the pressure.

It was too fast, there was absolutely no time to react!

Furthermore, there was a mechanism on that thick needle.

While Ye Liangnai was dodging the Senbon poison mist, it suddenly exploded again, shooting out a barrage of poison needles.

It's impossible to guard against!

It leaves no time for the opponent to react, making it an absolute killing move.

Even Ye Liangnai's pupils shrank as several small holes were pierced through her body.

"Xiao Ye!"

Upon seeing this, Mei Terumi exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with worry.

"Hehe, you succeeded. As expected of Ye Liangnai, you are indeed very fast."

"However, in the end, this old woman is still the better one!"

"Now that you've been poisoned by me, I have leverage over you, and I can start negotiating with you!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Chiyo, who was fighting against the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata, couldn't help but laugh.

Who else could possess such a high level of skill in puppetry besides her!

Ye Liangnai has been poisoned, and if he doesn't want to die, he must exchange antidotes with her!

The terms of the exchange were to hand over Gaara and let them leave Sunagakure.

Seeing this, Rasa couldn't help but show his joy, feeling much more at ease!

"Then you may be disappointed, Chiyo. You were just a hair's breadth away from your wish coming true!"

But just then, Ye Liangnai's voice rang out again, and he emerged from the sea, unharmed.

In his hand, he held a ball of water containing a cluster of poisonous needles, oozing a purplish-black toxin.

"Luckily, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have really been hit by your poison needle!"

"If one were to be injured by this poisoned needle, it would certainly be a rather troublesome matter."

Chiyo's mastery of poison was renowned throughout the Shinobi World, and even Ye Liangnai dared not risk her life.

With that, Ye Liangnai flicked her arm and sent the poisoned needle flying.

Then, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with confidence, "Give up, Chiyo!"

"You're a smart person too, you can see the current situation clearly. Your Sunagakure has no hope of winning."

"Continuing to resist will only result in the needless sacrifice of our Sand Ninja subordinates! It will serve no purpose whatsoever."

"I think their losses are too great, and that's not something your Sunagakure leadership wants to see either!"

"After all, if Sunagakure's forces are depleted too much, it will inevitably allow some long-coveted forces in the surrounding area to take advantage of the situation!"

"At that time, I think you will never be able to accept that outcome!"

Try to persuade them to surrender verbally first, then resort to force.

If not, then it's not too late to fight again.

As the saying goes, communication is the best way to resolve conflicts. As human beings, we must always learn to communicate.
